(Radio chatter)

You’re coming in… I think I can hear you… Hold on… Wait…

WH:

Alright, the signals are now live

You should see a blip on the side if the transmissions are tied

They can’t jam or find their own designs, so we stand to slip out under their watchful eyes

They’ll be none the wiser, when we run on by em

And bust through their perimeters and jump the wire

Had enough of being cuffed in their rusted iron

So trust we’ll kick dust and then duck the sirens

PH:

This prison’s been fillеd beyond its limits

Without knowledge that this spawnеd a mob of opposition in one spot

And all are endowed with a common interest: dissolve their restrictions and get on with their business

It might seem far fetched and distant ‘cause they’re split, twisted, and gripped by long arm

But we’ll prove that instinct wrong

All we need to do is generate a spark to go detonate the bomb

So what’s used to ring the riot alarm?

WH:

If the inside of the towers stay true to the blueprints

It’s the two switches next to the grate in the case with a translucent blue tint

Lift the top and use it

PH + WH:

Those who know the plan will know the signal

And those who don’t will go and take their chances

They flow out of the halls while we fleeing through the middle to get ghost and leave commanders

An angry crowd it moves like pools of liquid;

Thrashing up against the walls that hold it

Can’t be bound once provoked it’s too persistent

When the wave outgrows its limits then we floatin' with it

… A run over grass, leaves, and stones; alone but in time our paths will be colliding

The sun sinks into the horizon, at night a destructive wind thus arises

PH:

Cut through, and trust discussed routes

If you gotta adjust stay cautious enough to elude em

Keep moving, onward under the covering of leaves

And head somewhere we can shut us in from the heat

WH:

I’ll glide, slide, duck, and breeze past the branches, shadows dancing, dirt kicked up in transit

Still hurt from the panic, I’ll tie part of my shirt, and skirt out, with tourniquet over damage

I hear ‘em coming, what’s the move?

PH:

I’m breezin’ past the river on the west end…

We should trickle to the south and produce the union

Where the rivers intersect, connect, and twist and project forward

And pour out past the borders

In order to prevent detection we need to extend the distance

Between them and us, so they can’t corner or guess what direction we rush

Stay missing, concealed and nonexistent

WH:

The searchlights are distant, I’m hearing no steps

PH:

Keep pushing, they could get close if we lose footing

WH:

I turn right move slick with the river, I’m nearing the end

PH:

I just arrived myself, the sirens’ll die down the more you stride out

I hear footsteps descend and flow one set, so I know attendance is low, lets mend up and go

PH + WH:

Cascade and coalesce, we surge like hurricanes

Emerge from the weight when we burst through the frame

Swerving through lanes, no curve could contain

This convergence and all else can burn from the flame
